A 56-year-old New Canaan man was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound outside his car at the Talmadge Hill Metro-North Train Station on Wednesday evening, police said.

New Canaan police said they are investigating the untimely death, which was reported just before 6 p.m. Wednesday in the upper parking lot of the train station, which is along Metro-North's New Canaan branch.

"This is an isolated incident and no danger exists to any other members of the public," Lt. Jason Ferraro said in a statement.

The initial report was that a man might be in distress in the area, he said.

No further information was released by New Canaan police by late Wednesday.
